Maybe this will be a start

Oh my, it has been a while. I feel an itch. I have wanted to post something here and there for a bit but it is hard to do for some reason. I need to, though. I have also wanted to get back down to my craft room and do some sewing or painting. I just want to be able to finish something I have started. Even it if it just cleaning one room. But I also want my kids to be able to have a narrative to what we have going on right now.

I have journals for each of my kids and regrettably none of them are full. Jack's isn't even touched. Maybe this is the way I can journal for them. Something I am not awesome at. So, here is the trying to be better.

Let's begin with Jack. He is one! When did that happen? I think he went from skinny little baby bird to chubby smiler overnight. I was asking Dave when that happened. We don't know. He is absolutely perfect. He is sweet and kind. He is a fantastic eater. He loves his siblings. He loves to be held. All the time. Sort of not perfect there but perfect none the less. He bit me twice today - not perfect at all. But he showed a lot of remorse after each bite. We'll see if it continues. He may have to give up the juice, which will hurt me more than him I suppose. Let's see his transformation (warning - pictures!)

It about killed me when they put the IV in the head...

First day home, Joey has remained the doting brother.

Eli's baptism and Jack's blessing - perfect day to share. July.

Jack's Oompa Loompa impression.

This onesie was too big on him for a month or two...

I think this was the end of summer, his dad carries him in his Bjorn often.

First of many homespun haricuts.

First professional haircut. I actually think he looks like Cam from Modern Family. But only this one.

Who? What?

First birthday!

First sugar from mom, pretty sure this wasn't the first sugar from dad.

I have lost the blogging flow. Hopefully it returns. I have missed it. My thought processes have been continually interrupted for a good year now. I have decided that this might be the only way to journal for my kids. And keep in touch with family. Let's hope that for my kids' sake I can be consistent.

Just stopped by to check...and you are back!!! Keep it up please!!! The pic of Eli's baptism/Jack's blessing is TDF!! You are officially the prettiest person I know. As if you weren't already. Me and P will try to call you on partyline again tomorrow. xoxoxo
